Hyluard's Photo Album

These photographs were scanned by my brother Mark for me from photos Dad saved as important.  The caption numbers (which you will see if you put your cursor on the middle of a photo) refer to a typed list describing the photos.  I think my father created the typed list, but I am not sure.  I'll post that below the photo album so you can look up information on various photos.  As I have time, I'll rework the photos to make them as legible as possible and add others I find in an article that puts them in context.  Right now all are .gifs.  If you want a digital copy of any of these, please email me at mccurrymail@gmail.com and I'll forward one to you.  If you need a format other than gifs (such as tifs, jpgs, etc.) please let me know when you request the photo.

Hyluard "H" McCurry's Family Tree

My father, Hyluard "H" (Mac) McCurry loved researching his family history.  This three page document, dated 1989, summarizes what Daddy knew and suspected about our family at that date.  The handwritten notes were corrections and additional information added by my mother, Imojean Childress McCurry Morris.  Clicking on the small photos should open much larger ones for you to read.

Page Two
I remember my dad telling me about his Great Uncle Lewis who Dad said was a very short man, and must have been quite tough to be sheriff for so long.  I remember that Dad said he died at a great age when he fell out of a cherry tree but my brother Mark remembers it as being a chestnut tree.  That is what is recorded here.

Page Three

If you have trouble reading any section, please leave a Comment here and I'll transcribe that section from the jpeg my brother Mark sent me.

Andrew Jackson McCurry Documents


Among the photographs and xeroxes of court document my father (H. H. McCurry) collected are the marriage certificate for Andrew Jackson McCurry and Mary Margaret Adams, and ...



the document certifying AJM's Civil War service for the Union.  The handwritten note at the bottom of the marriage certificate is in my father's distinctive handwriting.

Click on any photos I post here and you should get a larger version I've enhanced to be as good as possible. Feel free to download these to share among your branch of the McCurry family.  Dad would want us to share his research. The photographs were taken by my brother Mark Hyluard McCurry of Dad's research notes which are in Mark's possession.
